PROFILE

A native of New England (Fall River, Massachusetts) she has spent most of her adult life in north San Diego County, where the climate, colors and light have fascinated her and led her to pursue an art education in the local colleges and in private classes.

She has become a recognized watermedia artist who now specializes in abstract expressionism, 'inner paintings' that reflect her life view and express her love of color and design.

She has been involved in the local art community since 1975 and is curently a member of the Oceanside Museum of Art Artist Alliance, the Vista Art Association, the San Diego Visual Artists Guild, the Carlsbad Oceanside Art League, and the San Diego Museum of Art Artists Guild.
